I don't know where else to put this, but I felt this would be a good fit here since there are so many people looking for good cases for performance builds. I felt the original Arc Midi was a really good case for a good price, and it looks like they've made the V2(or R2) even better! Also, I am in no way affiliated with Fractal Design......I just thought anybody looking for a new case could benefit from this.

Nice, simple and black. Just the way I like it. However, they're quite expensive. I'd still prefer (at half the price) a Aerocool PGS VS-3 Advance. :)

Those hdd holders are well designed, allowing 2.5 and 3.5 and the 3.5's are mounted with antivibration grommets. It would be possible to mount a 3,5 and a 2.5 on opposite sides of one of these mounts. Of course the trays could not sit in adjacent bays, but you could fit 2+2 in 3 bays. This might be handy if using very long graphics cards. I have an R3.
